"Into the air, Junior Birdmen, .."
Into the Air, Junior Birdmen
Into the air, junior birdmen
Into the air, upside down;
Into the air, junior birdmen
Keep your nose up in the brown;
And when you see all those birdmen
With their shiny wings of tin
Then you will know the junior birdmen
Have sent their boxtops in!

When I was in Air Force ROTC at the U of Maryland I was razed a bit as a Junior Birdman - not helped by the fact that many of my class-mates were 5 years older than I.
And I was there when the Air Force changed from army khaki to blue uniforms. Further razing as "Greyhound bus drivers", since many commuted to school on Greyhound. I'll admit that there was some similarity.
Oops, no one could be THAT old....
